--- Chapter 366 ---
Although the Azure Flame Dragon and Crimson Tyrant Dragon are good Spirit Souls, they aren't as unusual as the last three. If they have reached the realm of Unyielding Spirit Souls, then the remaining ones are born as true Unyielding Spirit Souls.
Then, Han Yuan introduced the third Unyielding Spirit Soul, "This Spirit Soul originally takes the form of an egg, with its parents being the Fear Dragon and the Radiant Divine Eagle."
"It inherited their genes, making it a Hybrid similar to the Azure Flame Dragon. However, compared to the Azure Flame Dragon's base hybrid, that of the Soaring Eagle Snake... This one is far superior."
"This creature has surpassed its parents and evolved into the Heavenly Dragon, a subdragon with three attributes: Spiritual, Light, and Speed."
"After I performed a Bloodline Baptism, its recessive genes awakened, and it evolved into the Heavenly Eye Dragon."
"This Dragon has achieved an Ultimate Attribute for its spiritual power, accompanied by a strong mastery of light and exceptional speed."
"And despite being only a 10,000-year-old Spirit Soul, it possesses intelligence comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast."
"As for its strength, I believe I don't need to elaborate further, right?"
After Han Yuan finished speaking, everyone gazed at the Heavenly Eye Dragon. They saw a majestic white-gold western dragon, its robe-like wings folded down, and a third eye closed on its forehead.
"If you keep staring at me like that, it's going to make me uncomfortable," said the Heavenly Eye Dragon, rolling its eyes.
"I-It talks!" Na'er exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock.
The Heavenly Eye Dragon snorted. "Of course I can talk. Didn't Lord Han already say that I possess intelligence that is no lower than a 100,000-year-old spirit beast? Being an Ultimate Spiritual being doesn't come without its perks, little girl."
Bi Ji smiled and commented calmly, "Although rare, it is indeed possible for a spirit beast to talk before reaching the 100,000-year-old realm."
Di Tian rubbed his chin, "Quite an arrogant fellow, but this kind of personality is acceptable, given his talents..."
"Di Tian, I haven't heard of the Heavenly Eye Dragon before..." Di Yating asked calmly. "Do we have such a branch in the Dragon Clan?"
"There is," Di Tian replied slowly. "The Heavenly Eye Dragon should be part of our father's lineage."
"However, instead of focusing on the light element, this special branch emphasized Spiritual Power. If I remember correctly, there was once a pair of Fear Dragons who reached 2nd Class God, and their offspring is somewhat similar to this one, possessing a third eye."
"But I am still confused. Why did this one choose to become a Spirit Soul instead of cultivating as a spirit beast?"
"Because spirit beasts don't have a future," the Heavenly Eye Dragon replied bluntly.
"..." Di Tian's expression darkened.
"..." Bi Ji could only cover her face in embarrassment.
The Heavenly Eye Dragon shrugged, "At least for now, spirit beasts can't become Divine Beasts like they used to."
"So, I voluntarily chose to become a Spirit Soul," the Heavenly Eye Dragon continued. "Unfortunately, no one has proven worthy to become my contractor so far."
"Of course, if Lord Han wanted to..." The Heavenly Eye Dragon glanced at Han Yuan, who shook his head. "Never mind, I'm not worthy to be Lord Han's Spirit Soul."
"But this girl…" The Heavenly Eye Dragon focused its gaze on the human girl, Na'er. "You're acceptable too."
Na'er panicked. "Uh, um, me?"
Han Yuan smiled. "Of course you are, Na'er."
"Your Soul Dragon Spear martial soul inherently has a spiritual attribute, which matches the Heavenly Eye Dragon. But let's not forget, there are still two Spirit Souls I haven't introduced yet."
The others were also curious about the last two Spirit Souls, so they encouraged Han Yuan to continue.
He opened his mouth and pointed to the shadowy figure. "The fourth Spirit Soul I have prepared for you is this one."
"It is a special form of shadowy energy that has taken on the shape of a dragon after absorbing a significant amount of True Dragon's blood and origins. Through further bloodline baptism, it has now become a dragon, although it prefers to remain in its shadow form. I call it the Ghostly Shadow Dragon."
"This creature is a bit introverted, but it possesses a cultivation level of 10,000 years and strength equal to that of the Heavenly Eye Dragon."
Everyone stared at the shadowy energy beside the Heavenly Eye Dragon. It had a dragon-like outline, but all they could see were gleaming dark-purple scales and a pair of purple dragon eyes.
If Di Tian's perception wasn't strong, he might not have recognized the Ghostly Shadow Dragon's true form.
He was surprised to see a dense yet pure gray energy that resembled a dragon. It was not a 'true' dragon per se, but the essence it might have once emitted is real.
"How bizarre…" Di Tian's eyes gleamed.
"You said this fellow's strength is equal to that of the Heavenly Eye Dragon. What exactly is the reason for that statement?"
Han Yuan chuckled. "In my vision, the Ghostly Shadow Dragon is an ideal, almost perfect assassin."
"If the Heavenly Eye Dragon has Ultimate Spirituality, then the Ghostly Shadow Dragon has Ultimate Shadow, followed by extreme Death and Penetration attributes, allowing it to remain in stealth form indefinitely, before launching an attack that could even injure you, Di Tian."
Di Tian frowned slightly as he imagined the scenario. "Then this guy is indeed dangerous..."
Although Di Tian possessed the Ultimate Darkness attribute, from which Ultimate Shadow was 'naturally' derived, the former was more about strength and suppression.
In contrast, Ultimate Shadow focused on presence erasure and delivering defense-reducing strikes.
Di Yating clicked her tongue. "Ultimate Shadow? What a fancy way of saying a mix of Light and Darkness..."
"But it works, haha, it sounds cooler too," she praised with a laugh.
"Nayuan has Ultimates as well!" Di Nayuan proudly raised her paws.
Bi Ji's mouth twitched slightly at the mention of "Ultimate this, Ultimate that."
Since when did Ultimate Attributes become so common?
At this moment, she alone, alongside Emerald Swan, did not possess an Ultimate Attribute.
'Damn it! Once I evolve to Azure Phoenix, thirty years to the West, thirty years to the East, don't you dare look down on me for not having an Ultimate Attribute!'
Despite being a kind and gentle healer, Bi Ji had her own pride.
"Hmm..." Na'er gazed at the Ghostly Shadow Dragon, which returned her gaze.
Since the dragon was not a physical life form but rather pure energy in the shape of a dragon, it was compatible with the Soul Dragon Spear and might even enhance the martial soul's quality further.
"And here is the last Spirit Soul..." Han Yuan suddenly said, pulling Na'er out of her daze. "It's this girl."
"A mutant True Dragon born from the Argent Dragon Falcon, a monarch of the East Sea, and a long-extinct Silver Dragon."
"Just like the other four, this Spirit Soul inherited strong genes from her parents and surpassed them in a way you wouldn't expect."
"With my intervention, she awakened both bloodlines and evolved into the Calamity Eclipse Dragon, but also known by another name among the Spirit Souls I created."
"The Silver-Gold Fallen Angel Dragon..."
"This girl currently has only 699 years of cultivation, but even the Heavenly Eye Dragon and Ghostly Shadow Dragon don't dare to underestimate her."
"After all, the Argent Dragon Falcon possessed Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Speed, known for their explosiveness and flash-like speed in the East Sea. The Silver Dragon is the ancestor of elemental dragons, allowing the Calamity Eclipse Dragon to inherit three new Ultimate Attributes."
"I call them Ultimate Ruin, Ultimate Blood, and lastly... Ultimate Beast."
"Ultimate Ruin, Ultimate Blood, and Ultimate Beast?!" Di Tian and the others looked confused. "You didn't just make this shit up, did you?"
Han Yuan chuckled. "Why would I?"
"You can see it for yourself."
Everyone turned their gazes to the last Spirit Soul and saw a giant silver-gold dragon. Its body was sleek, and its head resembled that of both a falcon and a dragon, with a steel-like beak hiding a row of gleaming, sharp teeth. Excluding the tail, the dragon had six limbs: four legs that seemed armored and two limb-wings shaped like rows of spears, ending in claws.
The dragon's body constantly emitted an ominous red glow, burning the surrounding air. Finally, its crimson blood-red eyes shone, causing the world to feel momentarily stagnant—not because it possessed a time attribute, but due to freezing the blood of others under the suppression of Ultimate Blood and Beast, with Han Yuan being the only exception, of course.
Calamity Eclipse Dragon looked at everyone calmly before focusing her gaze on Na'er with a hint of warmth.
After losing her parents, the dragon cub had been under Han Yuan's care and protection for some time. However, seeing this human girl instilled in her a sense of kinship.
At the same time, Na'er also felt an innate closeness to Calamity Eclipse Dragon, as the latter was a descendant of the Silver Dragon. She was not afraid of this dragon.
Na'er walked toward the Calamity Eclipse Dragon and extended her small hand. "D-Do you want to be my friend?"
The Calamity Eclipse Dragon let out a soft cry, lowering her head to allow Na'er to pat her.
Han Yuan smiled faintly, "It seems you've made your choice, Na'er."
"Then, let's perform the Soul Contract."
